About Sabroson
Sabroson is the value end of La Fabril's cooking oil range, one of four oil brands the company runs in a market where households buy by price as much as by name. It holds the INEN quality seal against the same national edible oil standard as La Favorita and Criollo, so the difference between them is positioning rather than specification.
